Dating to WWII, this hilarious reel of bloopers shows outtakes from various movies prepared by the U.S. Army's First Motion Picture Unit. The Unit made many training, incentive and propaganda films and documentaries for the war efforts during WWII, many of them featuring Hollywood actors. The failures in the film range from actors who can't remember their lines, malfunctioning cigarette lighters and doors, and more. At 3:56, future U.S. President Ronald Reagan is shown discussing malaria when a map fails. At 4:22, a rear screen projection (a common special effect in this analog era) is ruined by visitors to the set. And more!  This reel was obviously lovingly prepared, complete with sound effects, by the staff of the First. Enjoy!
